Customer feedback and voice of customer

Don't just ask customers
what went wrong.Find out why.

A satisfaction score without a reason is a number you cannot act on. ChatAnimate turns the follow-up into part of the survey: the score arrives, the reason gets asked while it still matters and the answer routes itself to the part of the product it is about. Every response lands as a structured record with its full conversation attached.

The interactive builder ships on the Studio plan. The demo needs no account.

Hi there. How likely are you to recommend us to a friend?

The problem

A bare number cannot be acted on.

What the dashboard says

The average dropped half a point. The report cannot tell you whether the drop is checkout latency, a broken onboarding email or one angry enterprise account with 40 seats. You schedule interviews to find out and the interviews are three weeks out.

What the follow-up says

The score and its reason arrive together, tied to the exact part of the product the customer means. No interview needed, no three week wait and no guessing which backlog item moves the number next quarter.

The patterns

Four feedback programs, same builder.

Each card below is a real routing pattern you can wire today: the follow-up questions and the branches change, the mechanics do not.

Product feedback by feature

Start with the feature they used most this month. Every answer opens the questions about that feature and none of the others, so the feedback arrives pre-segmented.

Routing

Q1 asks which feature · each answer opens the questions for that feature · free text closes it out

Churn and exit research

When a cancellation comes in, the survey asks why. A price complaint routes to the value questions. A silence complaint routes to the relevance questions. Two different retention plays.

Routing

Reason "price" → value questions · Reason "stopped using it" → relevance questions · each ends in its own offer

Support follow-up

After a ticket closes: was your issue resolved? A yes collects a one-line testimonial with consent implied by the tap. A no opens the investigation: what happened and what should have been done differently.

Routing

Resolved → testimonial · Not resolved → what happened · then · what should change

Onboarding pulse

Day 3 of a trial, the check-in arrives in chat. Stuck at setup sees setup questions. Uploading content sees content questions. Confident users get asked for their first impression while it is fresh.

Routing

Self-reported stage decides the entire question set that follows

The classic wired right

One question, three different surveys.

The recommendation question stays the same. What changes is the conversation that follows, because the number already told you which one to run.

0 to 6Detractors

"What went wrong?"

then

"Which part caused the biggest problem?"

then

"What should we have done differently?"

7 to 8Passives

"What would make it a 9?"

then

"What almost stopped you from signing up?"

9 to 10Promoters

"What did we do particularly well?"

then

"Who should we be for your colleagues like you?"

Route by score, by feature mentioned or by any earlier answer. The same logic that runs this table also screens research participants and branches product feedback by feature, because it is one builder.

How it works

From ticket to insight in one afternoon.

  1. 01

    Write the first question

    Type it or describe the whole survey in one sentence and edit the AI draft. The recommendation score, the CSAT emoji row or the plain "how did it go" all work as openers.

  2. 02

    Attach the follow-ups

    Each answer carries the question it should open. Scores route by band, reasons route by topic and the drill-down only appears for the paths that need it.

  3. 03

    Send and watch it land

    Share the link in your post-purchase email, your exit screen or your support signature. Responses arrive as structured records with the full conversation attached, and CSV export feeds the tools you already use.

Who it is for

Teams that own the customer's voice.

The CX lead

Owns satisfaction numbers and has to explain movement in them every month.

Every score arrives with its reason and its product area already attached.

The product manager

Needs to know which part of the flow frustrates people, without shipping a 15 question form.

Feedback pre-routed to the feature it is about, ready for the backlog review.

The founder of a small team

Wants the truth from churned customers without paying for a research platform.

An exit survey that adapts to each cancellation reason, live the same afternoon.

Questions

Asked before every rollout.

Ask the score.
Then ask the reason.

Publish the feedback link, watch the reasons arrive attached to their scores and route each one to the part of the product it belongs to. Ships on the Studio plan, with the answer log and CSV export included.
